Description

9-Hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid is a hydroxylated derivative of linoleic acid, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of various oxylipins and signaling molecules. This compound matters for its role as a precursor in the study of plant and mammalian lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways. Researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical development, and specialty chemical synthesis require this high-purity biochemical for advanced R&D and production.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Critical intermediate for studying lipoxygenase and cytochrome P450 enzyme pathways in plant and animal systems.
• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development and validation in drug discovery.
• Metabolite Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for the chemical synthesis of more complex oxylipins and eicosanoids.
• Cell Signaling Studies: Employed in in vitro and in vivo models to investigate the biological activity of hydroxy fatty acids in inflammation and immune response.
• Analytical Chemistry: Used as an internal standard or calibrant in LC-MS and GC-MS analyses for lipidomics profiling.

Quality Control

Our 9-Hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, keep desiccated. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
